When Zhang Zhiyan started to cook the tea, Lin Xi quietly asked Ang Youyong: "Chubby Brother, isn't it just Longjing Tea? It's not like I've never tasted it before, why is Brother Qin so excited?"
"Hehe, Brother Xi, you don't know this, right? This Dragon Well is not the same as the other Dragon Well. This is a real Dragon Well, and a new tea before the new one at that!"
"Oh, what's the difference?"
….
Only after gave him a good long explanation did Lin Xi finally understand the true value of the Lion's Peak Dragon Well. He couldn't help but be speechless for a while, if Ang Youyong hadn't told him this, he probably wouldn't have known this for the rest of his life.
Longjing tea is a famous green tea in China. It is produced in the Xihu area of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. It has been around 1200 years old.
Longjing tea color emerald green, rich aroma, sweet and refreshing, like the tongue of a bird, that is, "color green, fragrance, taste Gan, four beautiful characteristics." True Longjing tea, with its unique "light and distant" and "fragrant and clear" peerless spirit and extraordinary quality, is unique among the many Tsai teas, and after the establishment of New China is ranked first among China's top ten famous teas.
Longjing tea picking has three main characteristics: morning, two, three. "Tea is an hour grass, early pick three days is a treasure, late pick three days into grass." Therefore, Longjing tea is also famous for its delicate picking, and the freshness and evenness of fresh leaves form the basis of the quality of Longjing tea.
Therefore, in spring tea, Xihu Longjing is smooth in shape, sharp in tip, with buds longer than leaves, green in color, and no fluff on the skin; light green (yellow) in color; light green (yellow) in soup color; sweet or chestnut fragrance, but with a part of the aroma; refreshing or rich in alcohol; green on the bottom of the leaves, still intact.
In the tea lover Yu Ji's "You Long Jing" tea drinking poem, also wrote that "hovered on the Long Jing, cloud up a clear picture. Cooking golden sprouts, three gulps can not bear to wash up ", so far widely sung.
However, it was worth mentioning that although the market sold a lot of Longjing tea and they were also divided into different grades, they were all fake loans and were only borrowing the reputation of the real Longjing tea.
Because the real production of Longjing tea was very little, it was only in the areas around the Lion Peak, Longjing, Wuyun Mountain, and Hu-jie area with a radius of less than two kilometers, and the best quality tea was produced in the Lion Peak area.
The Liefeng Longjing, produced in Liefeng Tea District, is known as "the pinnacle of Longjing" for its outstanding quality and charm, while the tea produced in other areas around the area is also called Longjing Tea, but it is just a fake name.
It was said that when Qian Loong left Jiangnan that year, he drank tea at Liao Feng in Hangzhou. After he finished tasting the tea, he praised Liao Feng endlessly and then sealed 18 "Imperial Trees" at the place where Liao Feng tea was produced, leaving behind a legend:
Legend has it that when Emperor Qian Loong went down to Jiangnan, he came to the Lion Peak Mountain at Longjing, Hangzhou, to watch the village girl pick tea to show his appreciation for the people's feelings.
On this day, Emperor Qian Loong saw a few village girls picking tea in front of more than ten green tea plants. He was overjoyed in his heart, and also learnt to pick the tea. He had just picked one when a eunuch suddenly reported, "The empress dowager is sick. Please return to the capital without delay." When the emperor of Qian Loong heard that the empress dowager was sick, he placed a handful of tea in his bag and rushed back to the capital, day and night.
In fact, Her Majesty only ate too much because of the delicacies of the sea and the mountains. For a while, her liver flared up, her eyes became red and swollen, and her stomach became unwell. She was not seriously ill. At this moment, seeing the arrival of his son, Qin Wentian could only feel a sweet fragrance permeating the air. He then asked what good things he had brought with him. The emperor was also curious. Where did this fragrance come from? He touched it and realized it was a handful of tea from the Lion Peak Mountain in Hangzhou. The tea leaves had dried up after a few days, and the fragrance was coming from it.
Her Majesty wanted to try the taste of the tea. When the palace maid finished brewing the tea, the tea was brought before her. As expected, it was very fragrant, and after taking a sip, her eyes became much more comfortable. After drinking the tea, the redness and swelling disappeared and her stomach became weak. "The tea leaves in Longjing, Hangzhou," the Empress said happily.
Seeing that the empress dowager was so happy, the emperor of Qian Loong immediately ordered the eighteen tea trees at the foot of the Lion Peak Mountain in Hangzhou to be sealed as imperial tea. Every year, he would pick new tea and pay his respects to the empress dowager. So far, the eighteen imperial teas have been kept in front of the Hu Gong Temple in Longjing Village, Hangzhou.
Legends go back to legend, and stories are just after meals, but it is undeniable that Lion Peak Tea is rare and precious.
Ang Youyong's tea was precisely made at Lion Peak, and it was even a new tea that was picked before the dawn of this year.
It was better than Dragon Well Tea, which was something that could only be found and not sought after. Normally, Ang Youyong would not even be willing to drink even a little bit, if it wasn't for the fact that Lin Xi and Qin Yu were present today, he definitely wouldn't be willing to take it out.
It was a testament to his sincerity!
After talking about the Dragon Well Tea, Ang Youyong also mentioned to Lin Xi some information about the tea cooking utensils, which was the set of purple sand tea set that he had brought over.
Actually, the teapot used in Longjing tea is mostly a set of purple sand tea set, because purple sand tea set is white to the teapot, and purple sand tea set is a kind of pottery tea set, dense and hard, take out natural mud color, mostly purple sand, also have red sand, white sand.
The purple sand tea set is not only resistant to cold and heat, but also has an unripe flavor of tea brewing, can preserve its fragrance, slow heat transfer, and is not easy to be scalded. You can use it to cook the tea, and you don't have to worry that the utensil will explode.
However, it is difficult to appreciate the beauty of Longjing tea and the color of the soup because of the color limitation.
Just as Ang Youyong finished teaching Lin Xi, Zhang Zhiyan had already walked over to the tea table and sat down gracefully and gracefully. After that, she served the tea set one by one, and put it neatly in accordance to some sort of standard, in a serious and meticulous manner.
Seeing Zhang Zhiyan being so serious, Lin Xi couldn't help but be curious in his heart, but he didn't ask too much about it. On the other hand, Qin Yu's mind was extremely sensitive, so he was able to see through what Lin Xi was thinking. Honestly speaking, I am also curious why there are so many rules and patterns to make a tea. Moreover, Zhiyan's niece would call this tea ceremony "The Way of Tea".
Pausing for a moment, Qin Yu changed the topic of his words, and with faint anticipation, he continued, "But the tea that Niece Zhiyan makes is really delicious, you will know soon, hahaha!"
After hearing what Qin Yu said, Lin Xi started to ponder.
The so-called Way of Tea was the way of appreciating the beauty of tea. It was also a type of life art of cooking tea and drinking tea. It was a type of lifestyle using tea as a medium and a type of lifestyle using tea as a body.
Through making tea, appreciating tea, smelling tea, drinking tea, increasing friendship, good heart and virtue, learning ritual, and learning traditional virtue, it is a very useful and beautiful ceremony. Tea can calm the mind, calm the mind, help to pottery, remove distracting thoughts.
